I met Archie at a Glasgow Fiddle Workshop weekend at Wiston Lodge earlier this year and was very impressed by his playing. He's released three excellent albums with Ross Kennedy. My favourite (mostly) Scottish album at the moment is "Polbain to Oranmore" by Kevin MacLeod and Alex Finn. An absolute must for any mandolin or bouzouki player.
